Estate agent takes his cue from Lord Sugar

AFTER opening local estate agency Beville 14 years ago, owner Richard Beville says he’s been sharing his experience, giving something back to the community and helping a youngster into a fulfilling career — by taking on an apprentice.

Reading-born Marcus Witt, 18, is proving to be a great asset at the Sonning Common-based estate agency, where colleagues have found him to be very energetic, enthusiastic, extremely IT-literate, and keen to learn all aspects of the business.

Richard said: “I was contacted by an agency looking for apprenticeship placements. I interviewed Marcus and was immediately impressed by his mature manner and attitude. Hopefully he can learn a great deal from the business as well as contributing to the agency’s overall development.”

Marcus said: “Having been dropped in at the deep end, although enjoyable, it has come as a bit of a surprise how much work there is to do to once an offer has been received, before a successful completion.”

That’s the spirit, Marcus!
